So last year's color was Honeysuckle...which was a fancy way to say pink. :) I admit, I don't recall seeing a whole lot of it in home accessories or furnishings. Fashion on the other hand, did provide it's fair share of honeysuckle. Who know's what this year will actually mean when I tell you that Tangerine Tango is this year's Pantone color of the year. Don't ask me how they predict these trends. My guess is it's a little crystal ball mixed with a little moonshine. :) In any case, it'd like to introduce you to Tangerine Tango!!!
The actual Pantone color is really a vibrant reddish orange. Now if you can imagine this color in fabric patterns or accessories, this color will not overwhelm the average Joe or Joie. Now because tribal prints are making their way into home fashion (and runway fashion) this year, you can expect to see this color crop up in beautiful ways. I believe the bottom left pillow has that Tangerine we'll be looking for come 2012. One other thing I'd like to mention. There's a black and grey tribal print pillow here. If you keep in mind that grey is here in a big way...you can bring these two trends together while adding a little bit of that yellow from my previous blog.
